Is 4mg+ really the key?

What have you noticed since starting Creatine? I have been thinking about starting it myself.

They likely are referring to water weight. The water retention associated with creatine is mostly intracellular, meaning water stays inside the muscle cells and the muscles look fuller and more hydrated.
I take creatine and just built it into my expectations when I started it that what I saw on the scale would slow for a time due to water weight.

Perhaps a bit of a “pump” but no feels.


My DEXA before and after being on creatine for just over a month showed .3lb difference. With that, my weight loss trajectory went funkier than expected, so I stopped creatine Wednesday and stacked Sema Thursday. It’s too early for today’s official weigh in, but I’m 5+lb lighter than last Wednesday.

I have another DEXA scheduled next month, it’ll be interesting to see the results.
